Fire has gutted two houses, destroying properties worth millions of naira near Udu Harbour market in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State in the early hours of Monday, December 24.
It was gathered that the fire, which started from one of the upstairs, spread to the other and rendered all occupants homeless this Christmas season without sparing any property.
Fire fighters and sympathizers tried their best in putting out the fire but were overwhelmed by the inferno.
It was also gathered that the fire incident was caused as a result of high electricity voltage experienced when power was restored in the area.
One of the victims, simply identified as Igho, told while interacting with an Igberetvnews reporter said; “I lost everything but I thank God for saving my life.”
Igho also used the opportunity to appeal to the Delta State Government led by Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa to come to their rescue so they could stand on their feet again.
